In the old Mail app I was able to add a custom background image. Since that app is going away I now have to use this version. the "modern" theme has a picture of a snow covered landscape. The options are that or nothing. There is no way to change the picture or add a picture of my choosing, even though the description says "Modern themes allow you to add a background image for further customization". How do I change this image, or add an image of my own?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I would like to see modern themes expand so it's seen within where the mail is seen not in the backdrop.
I hope there will be a positive change soon.

I have upvoted this. Everyone please use Collinormous's link to the Feedback Hub, above, and do the same
Microsoft is more likely to acknowledge this request if submitted through the Feedback Hub. I already made a request and if people upvote it, it'll be more likely to be implemented.
So in there ever growing wisdom of what we require without asking us, they force yet another change on us that we must lean all over again, and now we find that the things we took for granted have been removed and now we must have a neutral screen or some pale mountains, seriously where is what the client wants, I cant even get all of my email accounts working properly on this mickey mouse email engine, but lets end support for the one that works before getting the new one up to scratch, like they are doing with windows 11, over my dead body will I be changing to windows 11.
I think they forget that we use these things for work and such, and we don't want to have to relearn how to do something which is costing us money and time that we used to know because they decided to change the layout or function of things.
And what the hell is with the forced ads showing up at the top of the inboxes now, how long before we and up with video ads being played every 15mins.
MICROSOFT get your act together and start listening to what your users want, rather than telling them what they are getting, your starting to really annoy your users where speaking for myself, am actually considering changing platform.
